Radiation damage and thermal shock response of carbon-fiber-reinforced materials to intense high-energy proton beams
arXiv:1712.00509 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams.19.111002
Abstract
A comprehensive study on the effects of energetic protons on carbon-fiber composites and compounds under consideration for use as low-Z pion production targets in future high-power accelerators and low-impedance collimating elements for intercepting TeV-level protons at the Large Hadron Collider has been undertaken addressing two key areas, namely, thermal shock absorption and resistance to irradiation damage.
